+==AutoScaling==
+To get it to run --? look at how failures are implemented.
+The moment your pool of usable hosts becomes too tight then you activate new ones.
+1) I want to implement which allows me to put hosts inactive and activate it again.
+2) During the workload the operator should be able to close and open the workloads.
+i) then you build a policy as to when you activate new hosts and when you want to stop hosts.
+ii) have many policies to do this
+iii) add booting time --> cold start. A host becomes available but it takes still more time to make it workable because you need to boot everything.
+iv) cold starts use zero power or very minimal --> idle power of a node that is turned off. Inactive have minimal power draw, but the downsides is that nodes may not be available immediately.
+Inactive takes more time to boot e.g., 5 minutes.
+The more you can predict how many nodes you will need to more you can save power without impacting the performance.
+
+The bachelor focus -- the primary focus should be on the design of the digital twin.
+Be careful that you do not make implementing the main topic of the bachelor thesis.
+The main topic should still be digital twinning.
+
+The digital twin is activated in 2 ways: either the operators prompt the digital twin when they run a workload or the digital twin sends a notification to the datacenter.
+
+IBM Dublin := you have metrics being managed and policies can decide to do actions.
+And these actions can be many different things.
+Currently does not matter what it would -- this could be auto-scaling, scheduling, routing.
+What is the difference between routing and scheduling?
+
+Great success == we do not include AI inference in the bachelor thesis!
+Policy decisions can be made using different heuristics --> AI inference.
+Do not work too much on the policies.
+
+The focus of the thesis is the digital twinning part.
+
+Autoscaling vs. failures vs. scheduling.
+MVP soon.
+
+Why can't we port a digital twin from other domains?
+Show that a digital twin can react.
+
+Show the readers what would the perfect experiment look like in the perfect.
+
+What a digital twin is --> give the answer in the background somehow.
+What do you think a digital twin is? Make it clear.
+Why is a specific datacenter digital twin different from what there already is.
